Not sure if its in the Netherlands lore or not. It might be. But whatever floats your boat.
Just a thread and a thought. Having everything railroaded together is kinda meh.

immune to sunlight. will returned. master out of picture. as it is with tadpole now.

Or vamp master sent asterion to find something for him, and the party, being level ones, are so far below his notice that he told asterion he did not care, and to keep a low profile, but to find (we will put the nightsong here for a point, but does not have to be the nightsong)

Vamp master is not engaged in just watching asterion all the time. he has other matters as well. and if asterion caught and killed, he turns to ash. vamp master doesn't care all THAT much at the moment. Asterion is small fry, and you are small fry.

vamp might even be curious about tadpoles, and sent asterion out to interact with people with tadpoles.... but the vamp master does not want to be directly in contact with soomething that might go mind flayer. That would be a risk. But asterion in contact with it? sure. who cares. lets see what happens.

So you just change his whole story.

If you go the Netherlands scroll route. A minor change. Instead of tadpole, netherese scroll.

The end point being. More options beyond everything being railroaded together by tadpoles.

If you dont like the thought, thats your choice to make.
If you want all the choice removed and it turned into more a interactive movie much like final fantasy games, also your call.

Beyond that. This is early access. Nothing is set in stone yet.
